As for determining which animals have been strangled and not drained of their blood, we must understand that the focus was on the quantity of blood remaining in the meat of the animal. It was not the fact that the animal was strangled that kept it from being eaten, but the fact that it was never drained of its blood.
The Eocene constitutes the middle part of the Paleogene period (65-23 million years ago), preceded by the Paleocene and succeeded by the Oligocene epoch (34-23 million years ago); all of these periods and epochs were part of the Cenozoic Era (65 million years ago to the present).
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, geological eras encompass millions of years. The main eras, according to geologists, are the Paleozoic Era, the Mesozoic Era and the Cenozoic Era. The Paleozoic Era, for instance, was approximately 291 million years long, while the Mesozoic Era lasted about 185.5 million years. The Cenozoic Era has been about 65.5 million years long so far as it runs to the present day. Historical eras are defined by certain historical events or a distinctive period of time. For instance, the Elizabethan era is defined by the reign of Queen Elizabeth the First, who was the Queen of England from 1558 to 1603.
